Is CFTR p.Ser728= (c.2184T>G) pathogenic?

CFTR p.Ser728= (c.2184T>G) is classified Likely benign in CFTR (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2024-03-05). Very rare (popmax 0.00267%, afr); Associated with cystic fibrosis.

What condition is associated with CFTR p.Ser728= (c.2184T>G)?

CFTR p.Ser728= (c.2184T>G) is associated with cystic fibrosis (ClinVar).

How common is CFTR p.Ser728= (c.2184T>G) in the general population?

CFTR p.Ser728= (c.2184T>G) is very rare (popmax 0.00267%, afr) (gnomAD).

How is Cystic fibrosis inherited?

Typically Autosomal recessive (Orphanet). A genetic counselor can assess individual risk for a family.

Rarity supports pathogenicity (ACMG PM2); frequency above a disease-specific BA1/BS1 threshold argues against it. A variant frequent in one ancestry group can be near-absent in others, so a single global figure can mislead.
